The Lehighton Fair will be 82 years old this year, and fair directors are almost set for what they hope will be the greatest year in fair history.

The six-day exposition, labeled Carbon County's greatest annual social event, attracts visitors from every town in the anthracite region and Lehigh Valley and from points as far south as Philadelphia.The fair preview will afford visitors a glimpse of the large variety of tent shows and rides as well as a special free attraction to be staged in front of the grandstand.
